Level Four violations represent the most serious breaches of academic integrity. 

Examples include:

1. Committing a violation of academic integrity after returning from suspension for a previous violation of academic integrity.
2. Committing a violation of academic integrity that breaks the law or resembles criminal activity (such as forging a grade form, stealing an examination from a professor or from a College office, buying a stolen examination, falsifying a transcript to gain access to the College or its resources, or altering the record of work done at the College).
3. Having a substitute take an examination or taking an examination for someone else.
4. Fabricating evidence, falsifying data, quoting directly or paraphrasing without acknowledging the source, and/or presenting the ideas of another as one’s own in a senior thesis, a master’s thesis, a doctoral dissertation, a scholarly article submitted for publication, or any other work represented as his or her own by a graduate or professional student.
5. Sabotaging another student’s work through actions designed to prevent the student from successfully completing an assignment.  

SANCTION FOR LEVEL FOUR VIOLATIONS

May result in permanent dismissal from the College.
